Tomatoes

Tomatoes are an incredibly popular 'grow your own' fruit, and as such here at Victoriana we've put together a most comprehensive selection of bush and cordon tomato plants and tomato seeds.

You'll find many heirloom varieties feature in our listings, as they often have the dual advantage of natural disease resistance alongside a tendency to produce flavoursome crops of fruit. And for those who like to try something a little different, we also offer exotic Tamarillo plants and seeds for sale too! More...

Tomatoes are one of the UK's most popular 'grow your own' plants, with beginners and seasoned growers alike tempted by the promise of their sun-ripened sweet and juicy fruits. With several thousand varieties of tomato seeds and tomato plants to choose from, here at Victoriana Nursery Gardens the Shirley family has endeavoured to offer a comprehensive selection of tried and tested tomato seed and tomato plant varieties, based on their own growing (and eating!) experiences.

That's why alongside the pick of our commercial varieties, you'll find a number of heirloom tomato seeds and tomato plants for sale on our website. These older varieties of tomato often feature some unusual characteristics, offering an abundance of appealing colours, shapes and flavours. You'll also notice that our online selection includes a wealth of cordon (vine) and bush tomatoes, ranging from plants that produce sweet pea and cherry-sized fruits through to giant meaty 'oxheart' tomatoes weighing over 1lb each!

Customers can choose from tomato plants and tomato seeds – our tomato plants are supplied as compost block grown plants, and we thoroughly recommend that they're planted on into pots with appropriate compost, rather than grow bags. As DEFRA registered seed packers, we are also able to supply our own Victoriana tomato seed, which is harvested fresh, cleaned and then checked for viability before being packed using traditional methods.

And for the novice grower who is keen to grow tomatoes from seed, there is a plethora of information on the Internet - some of which can make it seem like an overly complicated and tricky business! But Victoriana's own Shirley family have put together a number of exceedingly useful 'how to grow tomatoes' resources to help you get the best possible results from your tomato plants and tomato seeds. You'll also find information on how to save tomato seeds, aiding growers of non-hybrid (F1) varieties to keep on producing tomatoes year upon year from just a single (and very cost-effective!) purchase.
